Doha: The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) condemned in the strongest possible terms the operation carried out by Israeli occupation forces on the territory of the State of Qatar. In a statement, Secretary General of the GCC Jasem Mohamed Albudaiw said that the GCC states stand in full solidarity with the State of Qatar and are united with it in any measure it takes in response to this aggression, which has violated and torn up all the United Nations (UN) and international laws and treaties approved by the world's nations, led by the UN. "This necessitates that the international community rise immediately to fulfill its duties, hold the Israeli occupation forces accountable for their crimes, and deter them from all practices that destabilise the security and stability of the region," he stressed.
According to Qatar News Agency, Albudaiw indicated that the State of Qatar has made efforts in mediating to resolve regional and international disputes and conflicts and to stop bloodshed, as attested by numerous conflicting parties. He added that the State of Qatar always seeks to enhance security and stability in the region and the world, and that its hosting of the negotiating delegation of the Hamas political bureau is part of the efforts to secure a ceasefire, end the crisis in Gaza, release detainees, and contribute to alleviating the suffering of the Palestinian people.
